When epidemic strikes and takes its sudden and deadly count of the
young, it tears at our heartstrings for there is so little we can do about it.
Such tragedies may occur once in a year or two. But the highway toll of
young innocents produces a casualty list every day, year after year. There
is much we can do about it, for we are responsible.

School safety patrols are holding down the casualties of children going
to or coming from school. Two out of three are killed while outside of
school supervision. That’s the big reason why it’s up to you. Mr. and Mrs.
Drixer, to protect little children. Be alert for the unpredictable actions of
youngsters at play, crossing streets, chasing balls and riding bikes.
Little ones arc thoughtless of danger; perhaps, too, they trust grown
folks to guard them. Don t be the one to carry on your conscience the life
of a child. Slow down, be alert where children may be at your mercy.
